The Death of Ivan llyitch is the story of a socially ambitious middle-aged judge who
contracts an unexplained and untreatable illness. As Ivan llyitch is forced to face
the death he fears, he asks himself whether the life he thought was so correct was,
in fact, a moral life after all. Written after Tolstoy's religious conversion, the novella
is widely considered to be one of his masterpieces.
